WASHINGTON, DC — The Metropolitan Police Department charged a Maryland man on Wednesday in connection with three cold cases, including a stabbing death that occurred in 1992 and two other murders that occurred in 2008 and 2010.

Members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, working with the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Repeat Offender Unit, arrested 53-year-old John Carrington, of Clinton, Maryland. Carrington was arrested in Southeast D.C. related to an arrest warrant for murder that occurred in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
